“This is the modern era, not the ancient times!”
Jing Xi did not believe that Lou Ziling would fall in love with her cousin. Tan Ruyi would never fall in love with Lou Ziling. She was scared to death when she saw Lou Ziling.
However, she had a disagreement with Lou Ziling on this matter. She felt that she should not force Lou Ziling to make Luo Feiyang and tan Ruyi’s marriage happen.
“How about this? I’ll help you. You can choose not to support me, but you can’t object either.”
Lou Ziling felt helpless. He was against tan Ruyi marrying into the Luo family!
What was so good about the Luo family? his sister and sister were going to marry into the family. Luo Feiyang had pursued Jing Xi before and had countless girlfriends, but tan Ruyi didn’t mind. Could it be because “women don’t love bad men”?
Luo feilie had countless women. He had enough fun and found a virtuous lady to marry.
Lou Ziling had been very concerned about this before. He felt that his sister had suffered a loss. That was why he had never touched them even though he had girlfriends in name.
“Okay, I don’t object. You can do whatever you want. Ruyi is not a child anymore. If she wants to marry into the Luo family, I’ll be her backing.”
Jing Xi smiled when she heard that Lou Ziling was willing to protect tan Ruyi.
“Okay, you go home first. I’ll stay in city A for a few more days. When Ruyi’s matter is settled, I’ll go back!”
Jing Xi was in a good mood. She hugged Lou Ziling and kissed him, then drove him away.
“I’ll go with you to your house tomorrow to meet your parents. I’ll leave then.”
Lou Ziling was worried that Jing Xi would stay in A city. He had to hand her over to family Jing and let Jing Yichen protect her so that he could go back.
Jing Xi thought that she should also ask Lou Ziling to go to her house. Otherwise, it would be a little unreasonable if she didn’t see them when she came to A city.
The next morning, Lou Ziling took Jing Xi to the Jing family.
Jing Yichen’s attitude towards him was much gentler than last time.
Not to mention Shangguan ning, who almost treated him like her own son.
Lou Ziling relaxed. He was treated the same way as Jing Xi was in the Lou family. The strangeness was gone, and they were like a family now.
After lunch, Lou Ziling returned to city W. He couldn’t stay with Jing Xi in city A forever. There were many things waiting for him to deal with.
His Foundation was still too shallow, and he needed to have in-depth contact with various government departments to fight for more rights.
The mayor of city W was a newly appointed middle-aged man in his forties, named Zuo Yan. He came from a prominent family and had been honest and self-disciplined since he entered politics. He had almost no weaknesses and no black spots.
Lou Ziling had obtained a large piece of land two years ago with Li Jing’s help, but he still hadn’t received any approval.
He had already paid the money, but the government had forbidden him from using it for commercial purposes.
The land had always been in ruins, and all kinds of building materials were piled up everywhere. The losses every day were in the tens of thousands.
There were many similar situations.
For example, his company’s Tax Review was particularly strict, and the documents submitted were often rejected for no reason, asking for amendments.
Every day, Lou Ziling had to shoulder all the big and small matters.
Meeting the mayor had already become a pressing matter for Lou Ziling.
However, Zuo Yan’s new position was very aggressive, and it was the most sensitive period, so he refused to see anyone.
Zuo Yan didn’t see Lou Ziling, but his daughter Zuo Jia did.
She was wearing a decent white suit and skirt. She received Lou Ziling in Zuo Yan’s special reception room.
Lou Ziling was a little surprised to see Zuo Jia.
Her entire temperament was very similar to his sister, Lou ruofei!
She was graceful and elegant. One look and one could tell that she was a girl raised by an aristocratic family.
The only difference was that Zuo Jia was much more beautiful than Lou ruofei.
She was only wearing a plain white suit, but she gave off a beautiful feeling of spring.
“Young master Li, right? I’m very sorry, my father has gone to the province for a meeting. He said that I must receive you well today. The Li family’s company has made a major contribution to the economic development of our entire city, and the government will definitely provide more policy favoritism to Master Li. “
The moment she opened her mouth, Lou Ziling heard all the formal words that Lou Ziling had heard countless times. However, her voice was so soft and gentle that he couldn’t get angry at her.
Lou Ziling became cautious.
He wasn’t sure if Zuo Jia was pretending to be so gentle and beautiful, or if she was really like this in nature.
If he was pretending, he couldn’t see any trace of it. This could only prove that her father was a more powerful character than she was.
If he wasn’t pretending, Lou Ziling wouldn’t have understood why Zuo Yan had asked his daughter to receive him.
At the very least, he should have gotten a Deputy Mayor to receive him. Why did he let his daughter come?
Lou Ziling sat in her wheelchair with a mask on her face as usual.””Many thanks.”
Zuo Jia gave him a faint smile and personally made him some tea. She brought it to him and said, “You’re just as the rumors say. “
Rumors?
“What do the rumors say about me?”
“He’s an iceberg man!”
Zuo Jia’s smile widened, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks, which added a bit of sweetness to her already beautiful face.
“I don’t live up to my name,” Lou Ziling said indifferently.
Everyone in the city knew that he was disfigured. He was in a wheelchair and his legs were not good, so he was not a handsome man.
“That’s what everyone says. I’ve just arrived here and I’ve only heard rumors about you. You’re the most famous person in city W.”
Zuo Jia’s eyes were clear, and she didn’t hide the curiosity in her eyes.
A strange thought suddenly appeared in Lou Ziling’s mind. Zuo Yan didn’t want to satisfy his daughter’s curiosity, so he asked Zuo Jia to receive him, did he?
Did this mean that he doted on his daughter a lot?
If that was the case, he might be able to find an opening from Zuo Jia.
He had met countless people who were curious about him, but Zuo Jia seemed to be restraining herself.
When Jing Xi first saw him like this, she had unceremoniously taken off his mask.
“Master Li, I’m a plastic surgeon. If you don’t mind, I might be able to help you take a look at your face.”
Lou Ziling raised her head and met Zuo Jia’s hopeful eyes.
He had rarely met people like Zuo Jia who didn’t play by the rules. Did Zuo Yan know that his daughter wanted to use him as a lab rat?
“No need, thank you!”
Of course, he wouldn’t let Zuo Jia see his face up close.”I thought you’re a government official, and that’s why you’re here to receive me on behalf of the mayor. I’m here to talk business, so I’ll naturally go to the doctor.”
Lou Ziling’s tone wasn’t too cold, but it wasn’t gentle either.
Zuo Jia said softly,”don’t misunderstand, Master Li. I’m indeed working here. My father didn’t abuse his official position for personal gain.” Plastic surgery is just a small hobby of mine. I just can’t bear to see someone disfigure me. “
